Nothing is more important to how you start a home business than your expectations. You are about to embark on something you have never done before (or maybe never done successfully) and without the right preparation... the numbers say you will fail. Expecting to have it be easy, and not have to change daily behaviors is one of the leading causes of failure.
When you get started in a home business it's usually because you saw an ad or an article about how easy it would be, about how you wouldn't actually have to change anything about your life. But that just doesn't line up with reality.
The reality that will set you up for success is that you need to expect it to be a challenge. You are looking for major life changes, so OF COURSE it will take majorly changing what you do on a daily basis to make it happen. You probably need to learn some new skills, do some hard work, and even flail around a bit!
Here's 3 Steps to Start a Home Business Right: First, set your own expectations for what it's going to take. You can realize from the start that you need to work hard, you need to change your habits.
Second, have a goal or a place you are going that drives you. Something you are excited about that can provide the motivation for the work and the changes in your behaviour that you will need to make.
Third, you have to START by believing that it is possible for you. Many people start out expecting to fail, or thinking that it just wont work for them. This is a formula for failure. If instead you stop and think about the things you've done in your life that WORKED, you tap into your own power.
Now you are set up to make it happen. Use your expectations and internal prep to push you through the hard work at the start. Go out and make it happen.
